Fuji Instax Camera
Fuji Instax camera is the series of instant photography cameras by Fuji. The first Instax Camera was introduced after 1994 when the company stopped the production of Fotorama series. There are three types of these cameras offered by the company: the Fuji Instax 200 instant camera, the Mini 55i and Mini 7s film camera. The former one is the traditional version with comparatively large size and the later one is reduced in its volumetric measures. Both types are available in a number of colors.
Before giving an overview of these types of instant film cameras by Fuji, a bit deeper detail into the working of instant cameras will help you to understand their features which are usually described by all sales persons and websites while describing those best suited to you.
An instant camera uses a photographic film which has the capability to be developed into an image soon after the photograph is taken. The mechanism behind the working of such a camera can be summarized by describing that a photographic film is made up of three components: a negative, the developer and the fixer. The instant films used in Instax cameras by Fuji have all these features combined in one and therefore do not need to be taken to some studio to get the prints.
Coming back to the two major types of Fuji Instax cameras, let us first take a view of working of Instax 200 series. Almost al cameras of this series are provided with the light emitting diode (LED) and control buttons to adjust the mode from light to dark according to the conditions prevailing at the surroundings. The lens is there to zoom in and out in all models. The focus feature has two ranges starting from 0. 9 and ending at 3 meters. The buttons for flash and power are conspicuous ones. The models from this series are available in more than one color in some stores. The camera has received an overall strong positive feedback in its working. It provides a clear image after a very short time interval, most of the users report a 2 minute development time of the image. The image quality is improved as compared to traditional Polaroid cameras. It is easy to use and can prove a good start for the amateur photographers.
The Instax Mini 55i and 7s versions are most popular among the teenagers due to its smart looks and availability of trims in attractive colors like pink, blue, chocolate and being a girl I will not forget to mention the Hello Kitty model! These cameras have much lower weight as compared to the Instax 200 ones. The light weight and small size give these cameras a more contemporary and trendy look. The working is almost same to the larger type. One of the major issues to be considered while buying these is ordering of films along with these cameras. Many people find the films inappropriate according to the size of the Mini cameras.
Fuji is the only provider of instant cameras as these cameras are considered to be close relatives of the Polaroid cameras and are taken as obsolete technology by most of the people. But the sales volume of both above mentioned types of instant cameras reveal the fact that there exists a customer base for these instruments. If you are the one who cannot wait for results of things after a lapse of time, go for a Fuji Instax camera and inspire your friends with its magical working!
